P-o-w----li-K-K ': " queried one housewife of ami'her. ' Sharland's Baking Powder,' promptly replied the oilier. 'How else could you pronounce it ':' ' I pronounce it. ' most excellt nt," was the witty rejoinder. Speaking of b.-ikinc powders, a scientific oxclnim-e explains that ' the vaiious baking powders of commerce are employi d to produce- an artificial evolution of earhon dioxide, to support that produced in the dough by the action of the yr.-i.-t. The composition of baking powders varies considerably. It appears to be most convenient to produce the carbonic acid b\ the action of hydrochloric, acid on sodium bieaboiKite ,-inee in this way salt, nhu:h is in anv ease nce.cs.-ary, is also formed. Another widely-used* inate.ial is ammonium carbonate. It has been hitherto assumed that this siib.-iance after aiding in making the dough rise was volatilised bv the heat of the oven. Dr. Endcrnaun has however, found Uat liie ammonia is byno means all removed, but remains more or less completely united with the gluten. This result was communicated to the Association of Chcmi.-ts assembled at Washington in August, IS9I, and although the presence of ammonia is not a source of danger for the consumer nearly all the chemists present agreed in discouraging the uso of ammonium carbonate in baking powder.' It is a true saying that ' what the eye does not sec the heart does not grieve over,' but at the same time it is quite as well that wo s-hould carefully avoid any articles used in the preparation of food which arc not healthful. Looking at the enormous trade now done in baking powder, users should be careful to select a good brand and keep to it, for it is on record that in the United States particu> larly alum and other chemicals not at alt suited to improve the delicate org ins of digestion aio freely used. Whose are ■rood baking powders ? In settling this question, wo must not be too much guided by puffy testimonials couched in verv glowing terms, nor—although it is necessary now-a-days, in order to make anv good preparation known, to advertise freely until such time as all possible consumers are practically acquainted with its value —rely 100 much on newspaper advertisements. Nowhere, perhaps, more so than in the States is the baking powder advertising war raging fiercer. For instance, and to show the extent to which this rivalry exists, we note a reference to the subject in a recent number of tho Oil, Tin nl, mid Drmj Reporter. The Reporter merrily notes that in one paper the purest baking powder in the world is made in Chicago, and the vilest of all ammoniaeal poisons is dispensed in Now York ; while in another organ, evidently subsidised by an opposition company, the veidict is reversed in a very decided manner. Do not, therefore, be altogether led away by flashy advertisements, bat lent for i/oursehr*. ' Indigestion doth make brutes ot us all,' and many a deed, afterwards bitterly repented, has Lecn committed when the mind was upset by food made with faulty, not to say injurious, materials. ' How do you pronounce S-k-a-b-L-A-N-u'S H-A-K-r-N (i P-O-W-D-E-K ?' ' I pronounce it most excellent. It is a perfect preparation, healthful, and mostsatisfactory to use.' _ WTSOUTER&CO.
